KaptCrunch, that worked. Updated video drivers. Thanks to everyone for the support

System is hogging resources

I've narrowed this down to some sort of hardware issue. I installed COD4 on another computer connected to the same network (laptop) and don't have the game freezing issues on it. I don't have to be in-game for the freezing to happen. I don't notice any performance issues with the computer outside of COD4. Any ideas? May be time for a new machine.

I should also mention, the freeze that happens during gameplay usually when something when some action happens in-game like: Me getting killed, throwing a grenade, calling in a chopper, etc.

Thanks for the help. Here is the tracert below. I'm on wireless and did check all of that setup and it seems good...nothing has changed from when I was not having issues. I also tried Totty's suggestion because I did just get a new USB headset/mic and that did not solve it. I'm thinking the "request timed out"s might not be a good thing. Let me know what you think.

Hello! Over the last 2 days, I have been having fluctuating ping from my normal(around 40) to 999. It goes back and forth during game play causing the the game to freeze. It lasts 3-4 seconds, then goes back to normal. I can play normally for a few seconds and it happens again. I have restarted the computer, checked all of my wifi settings, restarted my router and mesh network and none of that has helped. The only variable I can think of is a forced Windows 10 security update installed a few days ago. Any ideas would be helpful! Thanks, NACHO
